PEFC Outlines Important Modern Reasons to Obtain Forest Certification
Consumers and public and private organizations alike are increasingly requesting forest products from sustainably managed forests.
But how can they be sure about the origin of the products they buy?
The answer is PEFC Chain of Custody certification.
